4.4.2 Charging procedure

The charging process for gel batteries
takes longer than that for batteries with
liquid electrolyte due to physical reasons.
If the battery display indicates that the
battery is fully charged, this corresponds
to 95% of nominal capacity.
1. Switch off the control unit. The se-
lection lever should be in the drive
mode position.
2. Pull out the security plug (Fig. 17).
3. Plug the battery charger plug into the
battery charging socket on the con-
trol unit (Fig. 18).
4. Switch on the battery charger, re-
spectively, plug the mains plug of the
battery charger into a convenient
mains socket. The battery is now
charging.
The charging process only runs with in-
tact main and battery fuses!
Charge preferably during the night. A
full charging of the batteries takes ap-
proximately 10 hours.
5. At the end of the charging, switch
off the battery charger, respectively
disconnect the charger from the
mains, and pull the charging plug
out of the control unit.

4.5 Driving behaviour

You determine the speed and the travel
direction through the movement of the
joystick (Fig. 19/ ). You can preset the
maximum speed of your wheelchair.
Attention:
!
Drive especially carefully during the
first journeys.
Do this by setting the pre-selected
speed to the lowest level.

4.5.1 Safety information

Attention:
!
Comply with the contents of the op-
erating manual for CONTROL UNITS
and the 'Safety information for elec-
tric vehicles' brochure!
– Do not pull out the security plug whilst
still in motion. A switch-off will then
cause an abrupt braking of the wheel-
chair.
– Comply with the max. permitted ris-
ing gradient value specified in the
'Technical data' section.
– Start off slowly. Carry out a short brak-
ing and steering test after starting
off.
– Lean the upper body forwards when
crossing an obstacle.

– Avoid jerky adjustments to driving
status when negotiating hills, trans-
verse slopes and obstacles.
– Do not get into/out of the wheelchair
unless it is switched off and the se-
lection lever has been set to drive
mode!
An unintentional contact with the
joystick can otherwise cause an un-
controlled movement of the wheel-
chair! – Danger of accidents!
– For safety reasons, use mobile tel-
ephones or other radio devices only
with a switched-off wheelchair.
